Watching the tide roll away

"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding, co-written with guitarist Steve Cropper, is a soulful reflection stemming from Redding's experiences and feelings while staying in Sausalito, California. The song, recorded just days before Redding's tragic death in 1967, was his first posthumous #1 single in the U.S. and a significant shift in style, aiming for a more pop feel. Its enduring legacy, marked by universal acclaim and Grammy Awards, underscores Redding's immense talent and the song's profound impact on music history View wiki
